Classification of organic compounds based on nature of their chemical bonds
This article is about chemical bonds. For saturation status of solutions, see solubility and supersaturation.
A saturated compound is a chemical compound (or ion) that resists addition reactions, such as hydrogenation, oxidative addition, and binding of a Lewis base. The term is used in many contexts and for many classes of chemical compounds. Overall, saturated compounds are less reactive than unsaturated compounds. Saturation is derived from the Latin word saturare, meaning 'to fill'.[1]
